Esperanza Protests Gitmo in “Let ‘Em Out”

“We are America, in my America we take a stand for this,” Esperanza sings in one of the most pointed protest songs of the past few years. In the five minute video, Esperanza is joined by artists like Janelle Monae, Chris Turner, Harry Belafonte, Stevie Wonder, and more as she sings her refrain of “Let ’em out!”

The video is constantly reaffirming its message with captions of facts, quotes, and stories about the Guantanamo Bay injustices. By far one of the best protest songs of late—oh yeah, and it’s straight up funky. Take a look at Esperanza Spalding’s “Let ‘Em Out” below:
